The man who brought together traditional old folkies and hip teenagers at nightclubs instead of folk clubs, whilst still maintaining the support and intrigue of both, has announced details of a brand new album to be released through Virgin on June 14th.

The new album, entitled ‘Hearts & Minds’ is said to present a rather harder edged brand of folk than 2008′s critically acclaimed top-1o album ‘Poor Man’s Heaven’. I can’t wait to hear what this Mercury nominated folk start does next.

And remember kids, Seth was about in ‘mainstream’ folk long before anyone had uttered the names Marling and Mumford. If you haven’t heard him already, head over to www.myspace.com/sethlakeman – you won’t be disappointed.
